I love the grill as well. I was surprised last year when you were against the red-outs. I just installed them on TIMMY250's 6MT in Matador red, and it made the whole rear look much more blended IMO. I like the GFX lip.

the red outs do look amazing on the M red and it makes the car look much more flush.

how dark are your tints all around though?

man....to be honest...I dont know. The guy who does it in my town is a pro and has done it for 20 years. It is legal in KY I think. I just pulled in and said "I trust you...make it look good"....and he did. Cost me $140. I really liked that he didnt do the windshield strip....even though thats what I had originally planned to do. I think its classier on this car without it.

Scott,

No bolt of lightening for red-outs against you. You will love the look and the cost ($12.00). The IS-F tails OEM or aftermarket are very costly.

P.S. Did you ever sel the X-Pac wheels you bought for your wife?
